Washed in the machine on gentle cycle using Soak. Dried flat and really stretched tightly to equalize shape and meet dimensions suggested.

Yarn used estimate is complete guesswork as my scale is malfunctioning. I want to try this with worsted weight yarn as the cowl, despite matching pattern measurements seems small.
